We used to live peacefully in the forest by ourselves. That was, until the lumberjack horses came.
They came earlier in autumn, and no one knew why until the humans came. They started cutting down our beautiful forest when it was at its prettiest, when the leaves started changing colors. They hooked up the horses to the trees and had them take them away slowly, one by one. I heard the sound of the dying tree scraping on the ground and ripping up grass.
At the time all I hoped was that my herd would be safe and our Life Tree would be protected. I had guards around the tree, spies that would watch the humans. I was all of them at one time or another.
But that's my job. I am the Lead Mare.
I am Lunaria.
